Hey!!
This week has been really fast to be honest. Here we only got to see about 40% of the eclipse it was petty cool to say the least haha. I miss being out to those Rammell parties but it only helps me look forward to the future. Yeah seeing Matt was pretty crazy and totally unexpected. Turns out he lives down here in a city called Westlake Village which is pretty ritzy of an area.
Wow that is totally crazy about Uncle Max, but I am glad he is in a better place now. I am so proud of Addi! She looks so good sporting the Skyline Blue!! How good is our football team this year?? I heard about the Hurricane and its pretty crazy what I have been told!
Dang getting old is no fun mom, haha just kidding! I have had so much fun here and I love teaching people the gospel. Tell Jackie I miss her! haha
So this week here has been fun I went on exchanges with the zone leaders who are in the Westlake Village area and it was pretty cool seeing the people there. Lots of big houses! We did some service helping out with Eagle projects with some of the ward youth. I got to meet this family, The Daurios, who the dad actually wrote the movie Despicable Me! It was pretty cool he wrote the movie about his family haha so in other words I got to meet the real Gru. We also had dinner at the home of the man who invented the ethernet cable and the HDMI cable. So it was a VERY big house. It literally had a tennis court a swimming pool and many other cool things just in the back yard. But the house was super cool.
The football season has started here and it has been fun driving by the stadiums seeing the Friday Night Lights! haha
My companion and I have been teaching this 92 year old WWII vet that can't hear or see very well, but he enjoys the missionary discussions a ton, his name is Milton.
Anyway I love you all so much!

Hey dad, everything has been great! Yeah that was really weird seeing Matt haha out of all people in the world haha. Newbury Park is super nice it reminds me a bit of IF it's just so different in terms of everything haha. A lot of the teenagers here are big surfer kids so they go to the beach almost daily. My area is actually pretty small in terms of areas. It is actually the only biking area in the mission which is crazy because there are a ton of areas total. My companion is really cool he is from Syracuse Utah and he is a really good wrestler. His name is Elder Anderson. Yeah this first transfer has been great so far I haven't had any issues with anything. I am glad the dogs are doing good. Getting any bigger?? I miss and love you guys so much!
